After dark
Live music, dance floors, rooftop bars, breweries, comedy and big stage shows once the sun goes down.
Many nightlife venues are 21 and over, and some shows have their own age rules, so check before bringing kids. Hours vary by night and season, and a rideshare is often easier than finding parking.
